TO   THE  STUDENT. 


I.  Fix    a   time   in   each  day,    if   possible,    when    you    will 
devote  yourself  entirely  to  this  study,  and  allow  nothing  to  prevent 

your  study  at  the  time  fixed. 

II.  Make  up  your  mind  to  do  honest,  hard  work.  Do  not 
IK-  satisfied  with  doing  anything  less  than  your  very  best.  There  is 
no  folly  more  foolish  than  trying  to  deceive  oneself. 

III.  Punctuate  all  your  writing.      No  employer  will  keep  a 
stenographer  who  docs  not  possess  a  fair  knowledge  of  Spelling, 
Punctuation  and  the  rules  of  Grammar.     Now  is  the  time  to  obtain 
that  knowledge,  if  you  have  not  already  done  so. 

IV.  Do  not  slight  any  principle  of  the  system.     There  is  not  a 
rule  of  the  Manual  that  docs  not  require  careful  attention. 

V.  Use  good  paper  for  practice,  and  use  good  ink  and  a  pen 
just  suited  to  your  hand.  You  cannot  do  good  work  without  good 
materials.  Never  write  on  unruled  paper. 

VI.  Where  an  angle  is  necessary,  make  it  sharply  and  distinct- 
ly ;  and  be  careful  to  make  none  where  none  is  needed. 

VII.  Learn   the  vowels  thoroughly,   and  particularly  the  rules 
for  using  them,  as  given  in  Sec.  4  of  the  Manual. 

VIII.  He  careful  to  make  the  hooks  on  the  proper  side  of  the 
stem,  or  you  may  find  that  you  have  written  a  word  you  did  not 
intend.  Do  not  incline  such  stems  !  )  (  x 

IX.  The  exercises  in  this  book  are  intended  to  supplement  those 
in  the  Manual — not  to  supersede  them.  The  latter  are  composed  of 
single  words,  illustrative  of  the  various  rules  of  abbreviation,  and 
each  of  them  should  be  written  until  the  practical  application  of 
the  particular  rule  is  understood.  The  speed  exercise  upon  the 
same  rule  may  then  be  used  with  profit.  Practice  upon  these  exer- 
cises should  be  begun  as  soon  as  Sec.  ?  is  learned. 


TO   THE    STUDENT. 


X.  The  Phonetic  Shorthand  Compendium,  which  contains 
copious  illustrations  of  the  principles,  and  engraved  lists  of  the 
Word-Signs  and  Contractions,  should  be  carried  in  the  pocket, 
and  every  spare  moment  utilized. 

XI.  Read  every  exercise  you  write,  and  as  often  as  you  write 
it.  Do  >«>t  negltct  this.  It  is  as  important  that  you  become  able  to 
read  readily  as  that  you  become  able  to  write  readily.  Half  the 
work  of  learning  Shorthand  consists  in  learning  to  read  your  own 
writing. 

XII.  Do  not  attempt  to  write  matter  involving  principles  which 
you  have  not  thoroughly  learned.  Confine  your  practice  to  the 
exercises,  until  you  have  finished  them. 

XIII.  Follow   carefully   the  General  Directions.     The  exercises 
are  progressive  in  their  character,  each  containing  more  or  less 
matter  which  must  necessarily  be  written  according  to  rules  given 
in  those  which  precede  it. 

XIV.  Before  writing  an  exercise  in  Phrasing,  carefully  read  the 
rules  and  write  all  the  illustrations  that  follow  it,  that  you  may  have 
no  difficulty  in  applying  it  in  your  practice. 

XV.  After  practice  upon  one  of  the  exercises  according  to  the 
General  Directions,  it  may  be  used  as  a  dictation  exercise,  but  you 
should  be  careful  not  to  sacrifice  legibility  to  your  desire  to  acquire 
speed.  The  outlines  should  be  written  with  comparative  delibera. 
tion,  the  pen  touching  the  paper  as  lightly  as  possible,  and  the 
effort  should  be  to  save  time  by  passing  rapidly  from  one  outline  to 
another — never  by  writing  them  in  a  careless  or  slovenly  manner. 

XVI.  You  may  test  your  proficiency,  after  practicing  upon  an 
exercise  until  its  principle  is  well  understood,  by  again  writing 
preceding  exercises  and  applying  to  them  the  later  rule. 

XVII.  A  table  containing  the  contractions  of  the  system,  and  the 
proper  forms  for  a  large  number  of  words  in  common  use,  will  be 
found  at  page  53.  This  may  be  freely  referred  to  in  all  your 
practice.

STENOTYPY. 


A  very  convenient  way  of  indicating  stenographic  forms,  is 
by  the  use  of  Stenotypy,  a  method  exhibited  in  the  following 
rules  and  illustrations  • 

1.  The  stems  Chay,  Ith,  The,  Ish,  Zhe  and  Ing',  which  cannot  oe  repre- 
sented in  the  English  language  by  single  letters,  are  indicated  in  Stenotypy 
by  the  Roman  letters  Ch,  Th,  Dh,  Sh,  Zh,  and  Xg,  respectively.     All  other 
stems,  except  upstrokes,  ai-e  indicated  by  Roman  capitals. 

2.  The  upstrokes  Lay,  Ray,  and  Shay,  arc  indicated  by  the  Italic  letters 
R,  L  and  Sh,  respectively. 

3.  Small  Roman  letters  (except  g  and  h,  used  as  above  stated)  indicate 
attachments  to  stems,  such  as  circles,  loops  and  hooks,  and  the  sounds 
ipmlied  by  the  halving  and  lengthening-  principles. 

4.  The  ticks,  which  are  named,  from  the  stems  they  i-esemble,  the  P-tick, 
T-tick,  etc.,  are  indicated  by  small  Italic  letters  corresponding  with  such 
stems.    The  semi-circles  are  indicated  by  the  small  Italic  letters  if  and  ;/, 
and  prefixes  and  affixes  are  also  shown  by  small  Italics. 

5.  A  hyphen  shows  that  the  stems  between  which  it  occurs  should  be 
written  very  near  each  other,  but  unconnected. 

6.  A  dot  (')  indicates  that  the  proper  vowel  should  be  inserted. 

7.  A  cross  (-{-)  indicates  that  the  stems  should  be  intersected. 

8.  A  superior  figure  indicates  the  position  of  the  stem  after  which  it  i- 
placed.    Where  no  figure  is  given,  the  word  should  be  written  in  the  second 

,  position.

EXERCISES   FOR   SPEED. 


General  Directions.— 1.  The  abbreviations  for  the  word-signs  at  the 
beginning  of  each  exercise  should  be  thoroughly  committed  to  memory  and 
used  in  writing  the  exercise.  They  are  indicated  in  stenotypy,  and  may 
also  be  found  in  the  table  of  Word-signs.  In  the  first  six  exercises,  word- 
signs  and  letters  written  upward  are  printed  in  Italics. 

2.  Among  the  word-signs  will  be  found  several  small  ticks,  as  x  /  *  '  , 
which  should  be  made  about  one-fourth  the  length  of  an  ordinary  stem.. 
These  are  named,  after  the  stems  they  resemble,  the  P-f  fcfr,  B-tick,  T-titk, 
Cliay-tich,  etc.,  and  their  forms  and  positions  should  be  thoroughly  learned. 

:(.  Head  the  sections  of  the  Manual,  cited  at  the  beginning  of  the  exercise, 
before  writing  it. 

4.  Write  each  sentence  five  times,  being  careful  to  place  each  word  in  its 
proper  position  with  reference  to  the  line  of  writing,  in  accordance  with  the 
rule  at  §  4,  t>.    After  a  sentence  is  written,  read  it  over  and  correct  all  errors 
before  writing  it  again. 

5.  After  writing  and  correcting  the  whole  exercise,  as  above  directed, 
again  write  each  sentence  five  times,  but  omit  final  vowels  in  all  mono- 
syllables except  proper  names.    Read  each  sentence,  and  correct  as  before, 
before  rewriting  it.    Head  your  last  writing  of  the  exercise,  until  you  can 
recognize  each  word  without  hesitation.

INITIALS. 

In  writing  proper  names,  the  consonant  stems  may  be  used  for  initials. 

except  for  C,  Q  and  X,  which  may  be  indicated  by  the  ordinary  script,  letters. 

made  very  small.    Gay  should  be  used  for  both  the  whis;>cred  and  vocal 

sounds  of  G.    The  vowels,  when  used  for  initials,  are  written  as  indicated 

below.    It  is  unnecessary  to  place  periods  after  initials,  but  it  is  well  to 

underscore  the  whole  name  with  a  sinjrle  strnig-ht  !!"<•.
